Gausman allowed seven earned runs and 10 hits over six innings with a walk, four strikeouts and a wild pitch. He allowed a three-run homer in the sixth inning to Indianapolis outfielder Andrew Lambo.
Manager Buck Showalter said Gausman would need to earn another promotion after he was demoted last week and he certainly didn't look too sharp Wednesday. He was 2-4 with a 3.11 over eight starts with Double-A Bowie before the promotion to the majors and went 0-3 with a 7.66 ERA over five starts with the Orioles.

Gyorko did some work Tuesday, putting in time in the batting cages and infield, while sprinting in the outfield, the first time he was able to run at full speed. His workout Wednesday was a bit lighter, and the team plans to "ramp up" his workouts beginning Thursday.
"I hit on the field, took ground balls right at me. It feels good. The training staff has done a great job. It's feeling a lot better than it did the first four or five days," Gyorko said. "I turned some double plays, which was good. I took balls further to my left and right. I did some light sprint work in the outfield. It was good to pass that test. Hopefully I'll keep progressing."
Gyorko will likely need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, though that is not a guarantee. Even if he does go down to the minors, it would likely be just a brief trip, given the relatively short time he has spent on the disabled list so far.
"I don't see any reason why I can't come back and pick up right where I left off. It might be tough to get that timing back right away, but hopefully that doesn't take too long," he said.

His next start is scheduled for Tuesday against the Nationals.

"We haven't talked about it," manager Kirk Gibson told MLB.com. "It's possible he could start again, but it hasn't been determined. A lot depends on how we get through the weekend."
Delgado allowed just two runs in seven innings of work Tuesday against the Marlins, but might be needed to pitch out of the bullpen prior to Sunday, especially after Trevor Cahill lasted just one inning Wednesday. Delgado fought for a spot in the rotation in spring training, but could no win the No. 5 role.

This operation will likely keep the 23-year-old Mateo out until at least next June, an unfortunate outcome for the organization's No. 4 prospect according to Baseball America. He has a 2.55 ERA in 29 appearances in the minors since his professional career began in 2011.

Cespedes' left hamstring is still not 100 percent, though Melvin doesn't believe the issue is hindering his performance. That said, Cespedes has gone 3 for 20 over five starts as the DH. It could be that he hits better when he's playing the field.
"He always wants to play in the field," Melvin said of Cespedes. "Is he getting antsy? I don’t know. … When you’re in the field, you’re always doing stuff, you have a feel for the game. When you DH, you feel like you’re pinch hitting four times."
Melvin said, hitting well or not, he's going to continue penciling Cespedes' name into the lineup. "Regardless, when he’s in the lineup, we’re a better team whether he’s swinging the bat well or not,” Melvin said.
